On 8 April, 2010, President Obama and Russian President Medvedev signed the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, or "New START," lowering the limit on deployed strategic nuclear weapons by either nation. The following week, President Obama hosted the Nuclear Security Summit in Washington, D.C., the stated purpose of which was to address "the threat of nuclear materials in the hands of terrorists or criminals." Against this backdrop, three panels of distinguished experts on nuclear policy convened in Washington, D.C. to offer critical assessment of President Obama's nuclear agenda-and weather it is compatible with maintaining an American nuclear arsenal that can credibly, reliably, and effectively address today's threats.

"Today, there is growing and increasingly unmistakable evidence of the existence of a nexus between energy and security. The latter should be properly understood to include economic and environmental security, as well as the more traditional aspects of national security. And each is being threatened by serious vulnerabilities associated with America's dependence on foreign supplies of oil." (From Frank Gaffney's "The Perilous Nexus)

This study is the result of months of analysis, discussion and drafting by a group of top security policy experts concerned with the preeminent totalitarian threat of our time: the legal-political-military doctrine known within Islam as "shariah." It is designed to provide a comprehensive and articulate "second opinion" on the official characterizations and assessments of this threat as put forth by the United States government. The authors, under the sponsorship of the Center for Security Policy, have modeled this work on an earlier "exercise in competitive analysis" which came to be known as the "Team B" Report. The present Team B II report is based entirely on unclassified, readily available sources. As with the original Team B analysis, however, this study challenges the assumptions underpinning the official line in the conflict with today's totalitarian threat, which is currently euphemistically described as "violent extremism," and the policies of co-existence, accommodation and submission that are rooted in those assumptions.

FOURTH EDITION. This monograph relates the evidence that supports charges I have made since I first became aware in 1999 of the true nature of the Islamic Free Market Institute (better known as the Islamic Institute or II), which was then operating out of the office of Grover Norquist’s Americans for Tax Reform (ATR). At the time, my organization, the Center for Security Policy, had just begun a seven-year sublet from ATR, which included a shared conference space and copier room. Shortly after we moved into those suites, a colleague asked if I knew that there was an Islamist front group on the other side of that Xerox room. I did not at the time. But over the next seven, biblically long years, I had ample opportunity to establish that the Islamic Institute was closely tied to the Muslim Brotherhood. It also became clear that, with considerable help from Grover Norquist, II and its associates were conducting successful influence operations against the conservative movement, the Republican Party and the George W. Bush team—starting with the 2000 presidential campaign and, subsequently, the Bush ’43 administration. In the intervening years, I have tried to warn those on the Right—and anyone else who would listen—about the seditious designs of the Muslim Brotherhood, its stealthy “civilization jihad” and the associated subversion aimed at our nation’s civil society institutions and governing agencies. Regrettably, such efforts have been met by many of Washington D.C.’s prominent conservatives with what can be charitably be described as willful blindness. Thanks to the national security leaders who transmitted the Statement of Facts, the extent to which Norquist and others continue to pose a danger to the nation and the conservative movement is now available for everyone to judge.

Over the course of a decade, a stream of credible scientific reports from various government agencies, congressionally-mandated commissions and federal research organizations have warned of the grave vulnerability of our nation’s most important asset: the electric power grid. For millions of us, life in 21st Century America would be all but impossible without access to electricity. As this compendium of the government's own studies makes clear, the protracted unavailability of the power required for all of our critical infrastructures poses a truly existential threat to our country and its people—unless we take practical and relatively low-cost steps to prevent it.

For at least thirty-five years, the United States has been at war with enemies sworn to its destruction. It did not seek enmity or hostilities with them. Both are the product of forces that long predated the establishment of this country, to say nothing of its adoption toward the end of the 20th Century of policies towards the Middle East or other regions. For much of this period, the U.S. government has pursued various strategies – including selective military engagements, benign neglect, willful blindness and outright appeasement – that have in common one very low common denominator: They all ignore the aforementioned realities and, as a practical matter, have exacerbated them. A lack of clarity about these realities or a strategy for dealing effectively with them has contributed to a strategic environment of great and growing danger and a wholly inadequate American capacity for contending with such perils. This paper recommends corrective actions, starting with a clear-eyed understanding of the enemy we confront – namely, an international, ideologically driven Global Jihad Movement and its enablers – and the essential elements of an effective strategy for countering it. The alternative approach is modeled after the successful strategy President Ronald Reagan pursued to defeat Soviet communism, embodied in his National Security Decision Directive (NSDD) 75.

"The chance I was afforded, starting in 1989, to write a column every week for two-and-a-half decades for an important newspaper in the capital of the most powerful of nations at a critical moment in the history of Western civilization was more than a privilege. It also amounted to a splendid platform from which to contribute materially to the debate about the national security and foreign policy issues of that era. Seen in hindsight, the resulting columns, published by the Washington Times from 1989-2014, represent a kind of geological core sample on those issues. I have tried to down-select for this volume from more than 1200 of them the ones that seem to me either to retain interesting insights into important past events and/or to be of continuing relevance to those still unfolding. This selection, taken together, amounts to a mosaic of commentary on the threats America has been facing, evaluations of the efforts – or lack of such efforts – to address them and my own prescriptions as to what should be done. They provide, moreover, a sort of prism through which to calibrate the trajectory we have been on for some time and to make informed assessments of where we are likely to find ourselves if we don’t learn from and apply the lessons to be drawn from our recent history. One thing is clear from these snapshots and, indeed, from the tale of humankind writ large: Deferring action in the face of aggressive evil is a formula for worse outcomes at higher costs, in terms of national treasure and, more importantly, lives."

Securing Freedom: 25 Years of Firefights in the War of Ideas

Thanks to the expanded influence of Muslim Brotherhood operatives and other influential Islamic supremacists, the U.S. government’s official counter-terrorism policy has now mutated into something called Countering Violent Extremism (CVE). Words matter. And in the present phase of what we call “The War for the Free World,” it is of the utmost importance to the national and homeland security that the United States’ first lines of defense be free to use the correct words to: name and define the enemy; describe accurately its threat doctrine; and develop and implement an effective strategic plan of action for victory. This book traces the course of one of the most successful influence operations in American history: the Muslim Brotherhood’s penetration and increasing success at subordinating our security to its jihadist agenda. That agenda is designed to prevent us, first, from properly understanding our foes and thereafter, incrementally to dismantle our ability to resist them.

Ever since Richard Nixon opened relations with Communist China, Chinese intentions have been a matter of incessant and often fevered speculation in this country. In particular, national security and regional experts, non-governmental organizations and office-holders alike have endlessly debated whether the People’s Republic of China could be brought into a U.S.-dominated international order and world economy in a manner consistent with American interests. The Center for Security Policy commissioned Warning Order: China Prepares for Conflict and Why We Must Do the Same to address these urgent questions. This book explains how, under successive regimes – and most especially that of the incumbent Chinese ruler, Xi Jinping – the Chinese have relentlessly strived to put themselves in a position to challenge, and ultimately to displace, the post-World War II Pax Americana with a new order that would return China to what they considered to be its rightful place as the Middle Kingdom, the preeminent global power strategically and economically. This series of essays by 10 leading U.S. national security experts documents from their various perspectives and fields of expertise a reality that can no longer be safely ignored: China is putting itself in a position to engage in conflict with the United States across a broad front and potentially with decisively devastating results. Our hope is that this book will move our nation past a now-irrelevant debate about Chinese intentions and onto a footing rooted in a focus on capabilities, one that enables us to deter the PRC’s future use of existing, and anticipated, threats to our security and vital interests.
